Female Obesity Encouraged in Black Society?

Obesity in America is a problem across the racial spectrum. But columnist Debra Dickerson suggests that African-American women are more inclined to be overweight because African-American men prefer them to be so. Dickerson defends her argument and is joined by a blogger who disagrees in this week's Behind Closed Doors.
MICHEL MARTIN, host:
There's no denying that obesity is a serious health issue in the country, and it's a particularly big problem for African-American women, more than half of whom are considered overweight.
Now, one commentator suggests that one reason black women are overweight is that the brothers like it that way. That is to say that the culture rewards women for a little extra padding.
Author Debra Dickerson wrote an essay about it for Salon.com, the online magazine, and she joins us by phone from Albany, New York, for a behind-closed doors conversation. Thanks for being with us.
Ms. DEBRA DICKINSON (Columnist, Salon.com): Thanks for having me.
MARTIN: Now, you know, a lot of Americans are overweight. It's the first thing a lot of international visitors comment on. But you think the culture rewards black women for being big?
Ms. DICKERSON: Yes, I think it does. You're always going to have pockets, and I think there's probably some class issues there. But I've heard since I was a little kid, nobody wants a bone but a dog, you know, and that sort of thing. And it was like only entertainers who could really get away with being obese, like Aretha Franklin and people like that.
Yes, there is definitely some - a market preference for women who have junk in the trunk, or however you want to put it.
MARTIN: But junk in the trunk is different from being obese, and I guess I'm thinking about movies like that Eddie Murphy movie that came out early…
Ms. DICKERSON: Which - yes.
MARTIN: …this year, "Norbit," where black women are, you know, fat women or big women are held up as objects of ridicule. And I look at the magazines, I look at, you know, the universal cultural marker, music videos, right?
Ms. DICKERSON: Right.
MARTIN: And I don't see a lot of big women in them. At least not held up as beauty objects.
Ms. DICKERSON: I think we're talking - again, we're on dangerous territory here, but I think we're talking about sexual fetishes. I'm not so sure we're talking about beauty objects.
And I think especially the jumping off point for me was that article I read in the Village Voice about how apparently there are all these new urban lad mags where that specifically looked for sort of round away sisters with these humongous rear ends. It was really quite striking. So I'm not so sure it's a beauty image. It's more sort of a sexual fetish.
MARTIN: I want to bring in another voice here. We're also going to be joined by Jasmyne Cannick. She is a blogger and commentator, and she joins us from her office in Los Angeles.
And I should also mention that I'm not telling your business, Jasmyne, because you've been blogging about your own efforts to lose weight. So this is something that you should talked about. What do you think of Debra's argument?
Ms. JASMYNE CANNICK (Blogger): I think there's a lot of truth in it, but I also - I mean, I just came back from the motherland and, you know, aka the land of big butts aplenty, okay? So when I look at…
MARTIN: Wait a minute. You're not talking about Atlanta, right?
(Soundbite of laughter)
Ms. CANNICK: Africa.
MARTIN: You mean West Africa, okay.
Ms. CANNICK: West Africa. Well, you know, I felt right at home. If anything, I was too small. But, you know, going from here over there and just looking at us as African-American women, yeah, there was a huge difference.
I mean, you can't argue with the numbers in terms of obesity within our community. But you also, I think, have to look at the factors on how we ourselves play a role in it as well. And what steps do we take, you know, to curb it. If we find it, there's a problem. I mean, like you said, I've been struggling on my own weight loss and I'm - I have lost about 46 pounds now and so…
Ms. DICKERSON: Congratulations.
Ms. CANNICK: Thank you. And I still have quite a few to go. And a lot of what made me do that. besides seeing "Norbit"…
MARTIN: What?
Ms. DICKERSON: …was this sort of wanting to be more healthier. But at the same time, I'm in Compton, and I have to tell you. There is not one single healthy restaurant. There's only one sit-down restaurant. Everything else is fast food.
MARTIN: Let me read, shall I?
Ms. DICKERSON: Okay.
MARTIN: Okay. According to a Village Voice article by Ben Westhoff, there are a slew of urban magazines finding success with men of color by replacing the traditional photo spreads of well-known bony models and actresses with unknown round-the-way sisters, looks and fitness not required.
Ginormous butts and weaves - must have. And now, here - I want to edit for radio. Buffie, for the 45-inch butt, is the reigning queen of the scene, and her popularity speaks to blacks' normalization of a very un-pc fatness.
Besides being a cover girl, Buffie appeared in the movie "ATL" as Big Booty Judy, and is as recognizable in the black community as some supermodels. Debra, why are you hating on Buffie? Come on, now. Why are you hating?
Ms. DICKERSON: You know, I like Buffie. She came across as a down home, round-the-way sister. And what hurts me in all these blowback is that people don't seem to get that I'm coming from a place of love for my sisters. And it bothers me that this woman felt herself to be too skinny at 120 pounds.
She put on that behind, supposedly she said, drinking these GNC protein supplements. She doesn't exercise. Everything she eats is, quote, "Southern fried" and a sugary drink. Buffie's not going to be with us too long.
MARTIN: But she's not obese. And guess what? How much of that, I bet, is marketing. Because that - Buffie's probably undercover at the salad bar.
Ms. DICKERSON: Probably, and besides she's…
MARTIN: But I see your point. You're basically saying she's glorifying an unhealthy life.
Ms. DICKERSON: She's unhealthy and the numbers speak for themselves in terms of the diabetes and the hypertension and how much sooner we die than other people. When we get those conditions, we get them much more severely.
So I think there's a whole tsunami of things going on. A lot of this is black women don't want to get their $200 hairdos messed up sweating at the gym. It's - there is a whole lot of cultural things going on in here, and I took pains that piece to say what you like is what you like - if you like big breasts, if you like big butts.
But if like something that's killing somebody, you have to learn not to like it so much.
MARTIN: In case you're just tuning in, we're talking to Debra Dickerson and Jasmyne Cannick. We're talking about obesity among black women and whether the culture actually enables it.
Jasmyne, you were making a point earlier that you're not so sure it's the culture. You think it's, maybe what? The circumstances that a lot of black women live in that don't offer healthy choices?
Ms. CANNICK: Yeah. I think that has a lot to do with it, also with the fact, you know, from day one, we're just not raised to think about ourselves in that way, especially in terms of our weight.
But I can't tell you how many times I've gone to my grandmother's house to sit at a table full of fried chicken, every starch in the world…
Ms. CANNICK: …the greens with pork in them. And it's so much a part of our community, but at the same time, we truly do believe as black folks that somehow that food is good for us because that's the food that we were raised on.
Ms. DICKERSON: (unintelligible)
Ms. CANNICK: But that's the food that we ate because that's all we could afford to eat. And it was passed down, obviously, from generation to generation. And so here I am, at 29 years old - I woke up one morning and I was 236 pounds.
And even though I was 236 pounds, I considered myself to be relatively healthy in terms of no other sort of health conditions, but I was fat. I was very, very fat. I mean, it took a little while for that to sink in. And when it did, I had to make some lifestyle changes. But it's not - and it hasn't been easy, Michel, because in my neighborhood, if I want to get good, healthy food including groceries, I have to go the West Side.
You know, and that's an issue from, you know, from the West Side of this country to the East side, wherein predominantly black and brown neighborhoods, we just don't have access to the same things that more affluent neighborhoods have access to.
Ms. DICKERSON: Sure.
MARTIN: But you also saw something earlier, Jasmyne, that even when - as you were putting on weight, you were inclined to think you were okay. I wanted to talk about that because Debra cites a statistic in her piece from womenshealth.gov, reports that compared with overweight white Americans, overweight black Americans are two to three times more likely to say their weight is average even after they're been told they're overweight or obese by a doctor.
Jasmyne, you think that's true?
Ms. CANNICK: Well, first of all, I will never ever put myself on the same scale as a white woman because automatically, my body structure's completely different. We have certain assets that others pay for that we just are born with naturally. And so, you know, at five-six, for me to be 135 pounds, it's just not going to happen.
MARTIN: Debra, you know, I think Jasmyne's also raising another point here, which is that isn't there something equally unhealthy in constantly comparing yourself to people whose body types might be very different from yours? And I'm thinking about like look at Serena and Venus Williams, who are very muscular women.
MARTIN: And there's s no question that they are healthy, you know. I felt…
Ms. DICKERSON: I think they're beautiful. I think they're absolutely beautiful.
MARTIN: But some people don't. Some people think they're not feminine enough because they're not, you know, slender and waif-like, you know.
Ms. DICKERSON: Right. I love bodybuilder's bodies, and I know some - my own mother, when I was a bodybuilder, thought my body was disgusting. So my problem is the health outcomes: earlier deaths, hypertension, diabetes, diminished quality of life.
MARTIN: Well, what got you onto this topic, Debra? What made you think about this?
Ms. DICKERSON: There's certain things - it just breaks my heart when I read about how low our levels are of organ donation, and it's much more likely that a black person who needs a liver or kidney or something like that is going to match up to another black person.
The unbelievably hideous numbers about black women in breast cancer is killing me. What we're doing to ourselves in this community and we're so up in arms about racism, but there's so much more we could be doing to take care of ourselves. And black women in particular, we take care of everybody and nobody takes care of us and we don't take care of ourselves.
MARTIN: Jasmyne, as you are losing weight, how are you feeling - what's the word I'm looking for? Because I know that you're not like on an index of, like, hollers on the street. I know that's not the vehicle - you know, that's not the standard by which…
Ms. CANNICK: Actually, I do use that.
MARTIN: Well, okay.
Ms. CANNICK: I do. To tell you the truth…
Ms. DICKERSON: I wanted to ask you got at 236?
MARTIN: Yeah, why did you get it? Exactly? Debra, see, there you go. How are you received by the holler index at 236, and how are you feeling now?
Ms. CANNICK: Okay, using the holler index, I didn't too many at 236. But I have to tell you now, when I step outside of the door at work here in Compton, the brothers are stopping. And it's funny to me because I'm lesbian, but even if I was having heterosexual, I'm not going to give anyone the time a day that shout their holler at me from a car.
MARTIN: Right.
Ms. CANNICK: But it definitely has increased substantially. I know I'm on the right track, let's just put it like that.
MARTIN: Okay, Jasmyne, I'm sorry. I have to ask, does it matter what type of car?
Ms. CANNICK: No matter what type of car.
MARTIN: All right. I just had to ask.
Ms. DICKERSON: Your momma raised you right.
MARTIN: And she raised you right. Jasmyne Cannick is a blogger and commentator. She joined us from her office in Los Angeles. And Debra Dickerson is a writer and columnist for Salon.com. She joined us from her home in Albany. And you can find a link to her article at our Web site: npr.org/tellmemore.
Ladies, thank you both so much for joining us.
Ms. DICKERSON: Thank you, Michel. I had fun.
Ms. CANNICK: Thank you.
MARTIN: And eat healthy.
Ms. CANNICK: Will do.
(Soundbite of music)

Feeble-minded was a term used in the early to mid twentieth century to describe a mild form of intellectual disability.
Section Five of the 1920 Mental Deficiency Act described feeble-mindedness as:
persons in whose case there exists from birth or an early age mental defectiveness not amounting to imbecility, yet so pronounced that they require care, supervision, and control for their own protection or for the protection of others, or in the case of children, that they by such defectiveness appear to be permanently incapable of receiving proper benefit from instruction in ordinary schools.
The Act established the Mental Deficiency Board which supervised children and adults diagnosed as feeble-minded or with other forms of so called mental deficiency. It also established the State Psychological Clinic which provided the diagnosis.
Influenced by eugenics, the framers of the Act did not believe that so called feeble-mindedness could be cured. However, they did think that, with proper training and supervision, children that received the diagnosis could lead happy lives.
Children diagnosed as feeble-minded often did not have an intellectual disability. Challenging behaviour, inadequately managed physical disabilities such as deafness, educational disadvantage, an institutional upbringing, and poverty, neglect or abuse could all lead to this diagnosis.
The term feeble-minded may appear in some of these case files.
Children considered to be delinquent might also have been considered to be feeble-minded.
Intellectual Disability (c. 1980 - )
Children accused of juvenile delinquency might also be considered to be feeble-minded.
Children or adults diagnosed as feeble-minded were considered to be mentally defective.
Mentally Deficient (c. 1920 - c. 1963)
Children diagnosed as feeble-minded were considered to be mentally deficient.
In the 1920s, a number of boys at the Boys' Training School received a diagnosis of feeble-mindedness.
Children's Protection Society (1903 - 1920?)
Some of the young women at Elim Maternity Hospital had a diagnosis of feeble-mindedness.
Some of the young women and girls at the Home of Mercy had a diagnosis of feeble-mindedness.
Some of the young women and girls at the Magdalen Home had a diagnosis of feeble-mindedness.
Mental Deficiency Board (1922 - 1964)
The Mental Deficiency Board was the guardian of children diagnosed as feeble-minded.
The State Psychological Clinic used the diagnosis of feeble-minded.

Dysplastic nevus: An atypical mole whose appearance is different from that of a common ordinary mole. Dysplastic nevi tend to be larger than ordinary moles, have more irregular borders, are often mixed in color and present in large numbers. A dysplastic nevus may be a marker for a person at risk for melanoma, especially if there is a family history of melanoma .


System cannot find source storage bin.
I have checked in the below settings but Iu2019m unable to trouble shot.
2) In IMG under WM>strategies to see where the strategy directs the system to look for the material.
3) IMG under Logistics Execution > Warehouse Management Strategies > Activate storage type search > Determine searc sequence. Check here if the put away (E) is created fo your warehouse number as well as having storage types assigne to them.
4) Logistics Execution > Warehouse Management > Interfaces Inventory Management > Define movement type. Here you can chec that the settings between the Inventory movement an the Warehouse movement are correct in the 1st option Assign. th next option LE-WM interfaces is where you check if the setting are defined for your warehouse number and movemen types.
5) Logistics Execution > Warehouse Management > Activities transfers > define movement types. here you can define you movement strategies such as auto TO creation storage types etc for your warehouse number and warehous management movement type.
I am still facing the problem.
2. Main thing, check for the Storage Bins within the Storage Type in which you are trying to do Stock Placement.
Whenever the system says System couldn't find any storage bin, ie means that there is no Storage Bins created within the particular Storage Type before TO Creation.
3. While creating TO with reference to TR use foreground option there you can find at which place you are striking.
1. WM movement type definition and WM-IM interface is not responsible for this since you would have got other kind of error messages.
3. Check in LX02 whether you have stock and the search strategy is suitabel to find it.
When there is insufficient stock in the storage bin from where you need to pick.
type storage bin from where you want to pick the stock.
check the stock category as well before creating the TO.
- If so then check the status of the bin whether its in blocked.
It has to work .

Akufo-Addo's government has a track record of fixing problems – Vice President Bawumia
Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia says the remarkable track record of the Akufo-Addo-led Government in fixing problems gives hope that it is capable of tackling the economic challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ghanaians in recent weeks have lashed out at the government for hikes in prices of commodities leading to high cost of living, with hashtag 'Fixthecountry'.
Some economic pundits and industry players explained that it was due to the international effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a Facebook post, Vice President Bawumia, however, gave the assurance to the citizenry that the Akufo-Addo's government was capable of solving the problems and would overcome the current economic meltdown.
"We are four months into our four year mandate. The job of government is to fix problems. This is what we have been doing since 2017," Dr. Bawumia wrote.
He added: "The COVID-19 pandemic has slowed down the global economy and caused increases in prices of commodities such as oil, cement and iron rods as well as overall cost of shipping.
"Nevertheless, it is very important to place the performance of our government over the last four years after inheriting an economy with "no meat on the bone" on record.
"Ours is a government that listens and cares. The facts and data speak for themselves," emphasized.
The Vice President then listed a number of problems the Akufo-Addo government had fixed in the last four years, which included positive economic indicators, social interventions to ameliorate the suffering of the people, job creation, improved agriculture, critical infrastructure development, digitization, among others.

I make one-of-a-kind ceramic human and animal figures with a psychological stance. Introspective, ambiguous, they often have a humorous edge. I like to form fast in a gritty sculpture clay, incise into the clay, bisque fire, finish with oxides, underglazes and glazes, then fire to cone 5.


The music album has been helmed by maestros like Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Javed Akhtar who has penned down the lyrics.
While Manzar Naya has a nice melody, it is occasionally interrupted by Farhan Akhtar's singing. There is a whistle in the song that's soothing but again Farhan's textured voice disturbs the melody instead of enhancing it.
As much as he tries, Akhtar fails in carrying out the tune with ease.
What could have been a very good soundtrack seems rather mediocre with his voice.
While almost all the songs from Rock On were 'Spot On', none of the numbers from the second instalment are creating any noise on the chartbusters list.
After all who can forget the title track 'Rock On' which almost became a youth anthem for the longest time!
Coming back to Manzar Naya, on the positive side, the song has a good acoustic guitar and a fretless bass. Also if you're a fan of Farhan Akhtar's raw voice, then you might just want to give this one a second listen.

Open Source server build solution for Automation, Configuration Management, Quality Assurance, and repeatable build and delivery of Windows and Linux based servers. Chef provides a service to manage 'recipes' for servers, configured and personalised to environments and server roles.
Chef is a configuration management tool written in Ruby and Erlang. It uses a pure-Ruby, domain-specific language (DSL) for writing system configuration "recipes". Chef is used to streamline the task of configuring and maintaining a company's servers, and can integrate with cloud-based platforms such as Rackspace, Internap, Amazon EC2, Google Cloud Platform, OpenStack, SoftLayer, and Microsoft Azure to automatically provision and configure new machines. Chef contains solutions for both small and large scale systems.
The Chef server acts as a hub for configuration data, storing cookbooks and policies that are applied to nodes. It also holds the metadata that describes each registered node ( Virtual Host / Machine ) that is being managed by the chef-client. Nodes use the chef-client to ask the Chef server for configuration details, such as recipes, templates, and file distributions. The chef-client then does as much of the configuration work as possible on the nodes themselves (and not on the Chef server). This scalable approach distributes the configuration effort throughout the data centres and infrastructure.
The Infrastructure DevOps (Chef) Server Build Service is a secure deployment and configuration of a managed Chef Server environment of one or more chef servers across an environment. Using the Viewdeck Secure Server Platform as a base, it provides a patched, secured cloud based solution to repeatable system build, configuration and deployment.


This classic Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL has some exotic blue blood running through its veins, as it was owned by the late King Hussein, of Jordan.
Having ruled over the Middle Eastern country from 1952 until 1999, the King demanded only the best vehicles, and this particular Merc' ticked all the right boxes to be used by the royal family at their private estate, in Ascot, whilst in the UK.
Produced in 1987, the 560 SEL was armored to 'B4 level', meaning that thicker glass was fitted all around, the roof and floor were strengthened, and armor plating was added. This operation is estimated to have cost more than £200,000 (~$240,000) in 1988 and, as a result, the car now tips the scales at roughly four tons (~8,800 lbs).
However, despite the massive weight, it can still cruise with ease, thanks to a 300hp 5.6-liter V8 engine. Finished in Pearl Grey over a black leather interior, the car has heated and electronically operated front seats, a telephone, the original Becker Mexico CD 'Autoradio' system, and a microphone, connected to an exterior speaker hidden in the grille, which is found in the glovebox.
You need a chauffeur for this car, anyway.
With all that weight it could as much fun as a dump truck.
when you are in any of those armored cars, you don't look for fun.. you just don't wanna get killed that matter!!
Is that mould on the leather?
If I lived in Chicago I'd definitely buy this.
Having "a microphone, connected to an exterior speaker hidden in the grille" would be a joy to use for offering encourgagement to dithering fellow motorists at road junctions and the like. Worth £30,000 for that alone I would think.
An air horn from a train does that job equally well and beyond… and saves you from stressing your voice too much.

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions with 3.8 million people weighing over 300 lbs. and approximately 65% of Americans are overweight. Childhood obesity has more than tripled in two decades. The average adult female weighs 163lbs. The Center for Disease Control reports that in 2006 only four states had a prevalence of obesity less than 20%. One in four children is overweight.
Clearly the statistics indicate a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States, but the trend is true for all developed countries. The causes of obesity are many—some complex and others simple, such as, living sedentary lifestyles.
Jessica is typical in that her desire to lose weight is often accompanied by an extreme diet. Sometimes the unusual eating patterns include taking diuretics, laxatives, an assortment of OTC diet pills, but almost always includes an odd concoction of foods or an extreme restriction.
Jessica has behavioral and emotional issues that have played a part in her disrupted eating patterns. She has lost touch with the real purpose of eating which is to nourish her body with the nutrients it needs to function properly. She has become weight obsessed. Mark is overworked and overstressed and has used food as a means of managing his subjective experience of stress. He is unaware how he is actually adding to his stress by relying on the momentary pleasure of snacking. The stress is increasing exponentially as he gains more weight and changes his physiology that makes him even more inclined to store fat.
Kate has a problem that stems from childhood. She experienced her mother as a controlling person. They had struggles over many issues including what to eat and how much to weigh. Kate's mother was very thin and very preoccupied with her weight, food and body image. Kate was always overweight since early childhood. Her mother would try to control her food intake and Kate craved sweets as many children do. Her mother would force her to sit for long hours to consume her vegetables and if she saw her daughter with sweets she would take them from her. Kate had decided that when she was able, she would access all the sweets she wanted. As a preteen her weight was within 10 lbs of normal but by the time she was 14 she was 50 lbs overweight. Her mother was exasperated with her and tried to get her to lose weight. This became a constant battle between them on a daily basis. The more her mother tried to exercise control over her food intake, the more Kate ate the foods that were "forbidden".
Food can be used as a reward or a punishment. It can generate guilty pleasure or be used to comfort us. Food is used to connect us socially and is a primary connection to the first person who loves us—our mother. Eating is a complex behavior. It is triggered by a number of biochemical reactions, psychological motivators and behavioral patterns.
Current scientific thinking indicates the complexity of the chemistry of eating by identifying the numerous neuropeptides, neurotransmitters and peripheral neurological system via the gastrointestinal tract and pancreatic hormones that control our desire to eat. Our metabolism and our fat cells also influence our desire to eat. Even the temperature in the room will cause you to eat more. Most restaurants are cool because cooler temperatures are an inducement to an increased appetite. In addition, we have environmental stimuli to compel our eating. We are bombarded with advertisements and social enticements to eat constantly. There is food everywhere, plentiful and food is reasonably inexpensive for most Americans.
Eating behavior can go awry for many reasons. The first cause is genetic. If you are born to obese parents you have an 80% chance of being obese. If one parent is obese or carries the OB gene, then you have a 40% chance. The genetic predisposition, if present, is not direct cause of obesity; you have to have acquired the behavior of overeating along with the environmental influence to indulge. Obese people can and do overcome genetics. If you have a thin parent, it may be that he or she is carrying the OB gene.
If you think you have the OB gene, you have environmental influences to overcome as well. Over time the portion sizes in American have increased as much as 2-4 times. For an example, in the past 10-20 years the average muffin has increased from 210 calories to 400-600 calories. The typical popcorn at the moves went from 5 cups to 8 cups and when you add the butter topping, instead of consuming 270 calories, you are now eating 600-800 calories. The average burger has gone from 330 calories to 800-900 calories. The average soda has been up-sized from a 6 ounce serving to a 16 ounce serving. At a restaurant the average meal with the oversized portions usually represents a full day's allotment of calories. While caloric intake has increased, our lifestyles have become more sedentary as we have changed from an industrial society to a service oriented one working at our desks by day and sitting at our TVs at night.
As our portions have super-sized so have we. The average rates of overweight and obesity have increased to more than 50% of the population. The astounding increase cannot be explained by genetics alone. Apparently our culture has influenced our thinking and behavior around food intake. Eating behavior can range from mildly disordered (eating too much junk food) to moderate or severe disorders that include binge eating disorders, bulimia and anorexia. Abnormal or unhealthy eating patterns can be present in the very thin, normal weight or overweight individual.
Severe disorders require professional treatment. Binge eating is different than overeating. Binge eating is often done in secret while overeating can be shared with others and include over indulging in sweets and snacks for pleasure or comfort. Binge eating like bulimia and anorexia are often accompanied by lack of control and can be associated with mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety.
Unusual eating behavior is almost always characterized by craving and not by appetite. Many people with eating problems often can't tell when they are hungry. They eat for a variety of reasons and rarely experience real hunger because cravings are indulged. Obese individuals are considering surgery as a technique to lose weight. Surgery is almost always successful in controlling caloric intake because of mechanical or physiological barriers, but once individuals adapt to the changes, they start to re-gain the weight. Some regain only a few pounds while others regain a substantial amount. The reason is that the eating behavior is motivated by craving and not by hunger. Craving is a psychological experience, while hunger is a physiological one. Creating a physical barrier to prevent eating will not overcome the psychological motivation to eat.
Comfort foods that usually accompany a craving include, cake, candy, chocolate, ice cream, pizza, bread, fatty foods, fried foods, potato chip or other salty snacks. Comfort foods have achieved their reputations because they are intensely flavorful and eating the foods is often experienced with a great deal of pleasure. Comfort foods are always made or contain some amount of manmade or processed elements. Comfort foods rarely are whole, natural substances. Few people over indulge in broccoli or lettuce.
Most people hope for a magic pill that will control their food intake. The reality is that we don't overindulge in foods because of physiological deficits. We overindulge because of behavioral and cognitive events. What makes us fat is the change in our physiology that results from years of overindulgence. As the physiology is altered from overweight or obesity, the changes in our bodies make becoming thin and staying thin very difficult. The most effective cure for obesity is never to let your weight go beyond normal limits. The second best cure following weight gain is exercise.
Exercise is the magic pill. When your body's physiology changes because of obesity, it becomes a fat making factory so to speak. No one pill is going to change all the chemistry in your body to make you not want to eat or to burn fat. Wanting to indulge in comfort foods has little to do with body chemistry, but hunger does have everything to do with body chemistry. Indulging cravings is a behavioral and cognitive problem.
Identify the triggers to your desire to indulge. Make notes on your desire to eat, when, what was happening and what triggered the desire.
Change your thinking. Eliminate the negative thoughts that cause you to feel convinced you can't do anything about the problem.
Live the life you desire. Real substantive change occurs when you are in touch with your frustration.
Learn to identify your feelings and express yourself. Develop and use your network of social support. Emotional support is always fulfilling; overeating never satisfies.
Decrease you indulgence in intensely flavorful processed foods. By doing so, you will teach your brain not to want comfort foods.
Journal your feelings and use your journal to develop a positive relationship with yourself. Be kind to yourself and learn to take care of your body.
Cravings can be controlled by eating whole, fresh foods. Stay away from processed foods especially those high in fat, sugar and salt.
Spend time with healthy eaters. Use them for support and as role models.
Hire a coach to help you to identify the specific changes you need to make to be successful at overcoming your unhealthy eating patterns. It is difficult to take a critical evaluation of one's self. For this reason, an experienced health and wellness coach can be very helpful in this regard.
Exercise is the miracle pill.
Exercise will reverse much of the problems associated with overeating. Exercise increases good cholesterol and you will reap additional benefits: increased metabolic rate, decreased appetite, less stress, improved mood, better glucose regulation, higher energy levels, increased confidence and more. In effect the physiological changes that overweight and obesity caused can be reversed with exercise. Exercise for the health benefits and don't worry about the caloric burn. The caloric burn is just an added benefit.
Jessica wanted to overcome her eating and weight problem. She was very motivated and even though it was difficult to stick with it, she decided she wasn't going to quit this time. She changed her focus away from the scale and onto her behavior and thinking.
Mark made substantial changes as well. He was able to lose 50lbs and although not exactly back to normal weight, he is on his way. More importantly as he describes his journey he was able to change his life.
